In addition to the Duke Energy Holiday Trains at the Museum Center, another Christmas tradition we never miss is the Festival of Lights at the Cincinnati Zoo.
A couple of Fridays ago was opening night for zoo members only. We took advantage of the slightly smaller sized crowd to get an early visit to this wonderful holiday tradition.
The Festival of Lights is the largest holiday light display in Cincinnati and can become quite crowded as we get closer to Christmas. If you want to visit I recommend avoiding Friday and Saturday nights and make sure to get there as early as possible.
The displays will be up until January 4 and are open Sunday through Thursday 5-9, Friday and Saturday 5-10.
